I hear stories every single week from clients that range from looming divorce, possible BKs with business partners, and other "You VS Them" situations. 

One time, I had a client going through all of those things at one time. 

He asked me, "Stewman, what is the purpose of doing all of this?" 

I told him, "Nothing, if you quit."

Let this be a lesson. 

There are going to be times in your life when the force of average comes for you.  

It'll come for your family, your business, your clients, your livelihood, and your life. 

All of these things will come for you at various times in your life. 

But it's important you don't quit. 

Never quit. 

If it's you versus them, and you quit, you lose. 

You've to to fight back. 

Hit them where it counts. 

If you have people pulling you down, remove them from your circle. 

Got money troubles? 

Make more. 

Facing struggles in business? 

Part ways. 

It's really that simple. 

Pound the problems back. 

But whatever you do, DO NOT QUIT! 

Success is just on the other side of the struggle.

Out of everything I've learned in life, one stream of income is not enough. 

It's one of the rewires we have to make that was programmed into us as children. 

Our lifestyles. 

We saw our parents do it. 

They'd wake up, go to their one job, and come home. 

In my house, there were times when one job was enough, until it wasn't. 

As an adult when I went to prison, coming out I was now deemed a felon. 

Finding one job, let alone 2 was a challenge, so I went into sales. 

Sales took me to the mortgage industry. 

When Obama passed the Dodd-Frank act, I lost my license and could no longer originate loans, so I had to hustle. 

I started Hardcore Closer. 

After that, Break Free Academy. 

From there, I create Phonesites and everything kept expanding. 

My point. 

Each one of those companies has created revenue for me. 

I created one. 

Started another. 

If you have only one strea of income, it won't be enough. 

If you want to be rich-rich, have fuck you money, or simply build generational wealth, lean in and listen. 

This one is for you.

The biggest reason most people don't find great success in business is due to one thing......

INCONSISTENCY. 

They jump from one bandwagon to the next. 

One moment, they're selling credit card processing services and the next, they're a life coach. 

We see "influencers" popping up left and right every 6 months with the next big thing. 

The fastest way to get leads. 

Close sales. 

Bullet proof email masterpieces. 

But here's the truth. 

You gotta pick one thing and keep it the main thing. 

That's the secret to keeping things consistent, predictable and successful. 

If you want to be successful, you gotta be consistent. 

Stay focused. 

Do the boring shit every single day. 

Watch everything flow.

There are some things you're going to have to unlearn if you want to succeed. 

1. The way you think about credit

2. The foolish habits you've developed over the years that have kept you stuck 

So, how does this get accomplished? 

Simple. 

Credit. 

In the early days, I used cash to fund my business, pay bills, and payroll. 

But I was doing myself a disservice. 

I couldn't grab enough capital to float during the slow months. 

Sales was the main focus of everything I was doing and it kept me from growing and scaling my company quicker. 

And then, I got smart and got in the room with some of the smartest people I know. 

This is the story of how I was able to leverage credit to buy dream cars, take vacations, and scale my business beyond my expectations. 

Bring a notepad. 

Take notes.

When I first became a millionaire, I made a huge mistake. 

I kept myself as the big man on the block. 

The smartest person in the room. 

And I was keeping company with old friends from the neighborhood. 

They were the wrong people and the reason why we do this is because we think we're the wrong people. 

So, we hang with the wrong people. 

I grew up in an under middle-class neighborhood. 

Homes weren't that big. 

But I soon realized I couldn't hang with the same people from the same neighborhood because we were different. 

I put in  more work than they had. 

Started a business. 

Made more money. 

But it didn't make me better, but made me different. 

As a result, I lost friends. 

Connections. 

This forced me to move into other rooms. 

Rooms where I could be the small fish for once, and be surrounded by people I could learn from. 

More successful people. 

Those who could bring me closer to the discomfort of what's required to make it to the next level in life. 

The lesson.........Don't hang out with losers.

From family who thought I was crazy.

I went to a huge mastermind awhile back with some of the biggest celebrities and most recognizable representatives of brands. 

I heard something that resonated with me. 

Each individual speaker on the panel said the same thing: 

"We say no, more than we say yes." 

As a sales guy, this clicked with me. 

I like to say yes, because I don't like to hear no.  

So, the more I say yes, the more yeses I get. 

If you sell how you buy, you'll never have to go without. 

This is why sales is my comfort. 

My saving grace. 

But there are times when you have to say no, because it clears the distractions from your path.

Not everything you encounter deserves a "yes." 

Learn to say no, and watch yourself grow.

When I was a kid, my father abandoned me. 

My stepdad came in and shortly thereafter, my last name was changed from McCord to Stewman. 

Stewman isn't even my real name. 

It's someone elses. 

My stepdad always pushed me to be someone and something I wasn't. 

He tried to force me into being an athlete. 

I can't throw a baseball to save my life. 

This pattern continued into adult life. 

I was trying to be different versions of who I was except the person I was intended to be in this timeline. 

I was Ryan the carwash guy. 

Ryan, the mortgage guy. 

Ryan the goody-two-shoes church-going multi-level marketer. 

I went to prison. 

Got married and divorced 3 times before I figured out exactly who the fuck I was supposed to be. 

The moment I embraced the Ryan I am today, the Hardcore Closer, it was game over. 

My name is not important,. 

But my mission is. 

I tell you this in hopes of saving you some time by starting with being who you truly are...........you. 

You're perfect that way.

Just because someone is winning you don't like, doesn't mean you're losing. 

This happens when we compare ourselves to other people.  

The best way to avoid this is to follow the GCode. 

It starts with gratitude. 

When you see someone winning, celebrate with them and for them, even if you don't like them. 

Think about the things you are focused on. 

If they lead to you hating on seeing others win, you gotta change your mindset. 

You've got to lean in harder to doing the things that create winning. 

Think about your life. 

Your business. 

Relationships. 

Work harder. 

Stay consistent. 

And whatever you do, don't quit until you have your own success.

Back in 2005, I became a millionaire for the first time in my life. 

And then, I went to prison. 

I was married at the time and was in love. 

I was broke by the time I went to prison but figured, at least I had love. 

I had someone waiting for me. 

Or so I thought. 

I used to pray. 

I read books. 

Over 400 of them while I was incarcerated. 

I was creating something that would later become the GCODE. 

I worked out daily. 

I share all this to set up this episode for you where I uncover the blessings of unanswered prayers. 

There's a lot of lessons in this one. 

Lean in.
